Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Elizaveta (Liza) Patchen uses a blend of practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients address their concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic space where clients are respected and guided to explore their values and goals, which is helpful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and finding purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns, offering clear skills and homework to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and present-moment awareness techniques that can reduce reactivity, support emotion regulation, and complement work on stress, trauma, and sleep difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and she approaches this decision collaboratively. Together with each client she evaluates needs, preferences, and goals to adapt techniques and shape a treatment plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from different locations, and continue therapeutic progress when in-person visits are not practical. Licensed professionals and therapists can tailor each modality so clients receive meaningful care in ways that suit their daily lives.
